2011 Hyundai Elantra - Great economical car

The car looks great, the design on it is really nice and looks luxurious. The gas mileage on this vehicle is great and you get a lot of MPG. I like the interior of the vehicle because it's roomy. It also comes with a lot of great features such as satellite radio, aux and iPhone connections so you can listen to music. The interior looks very fancy and does not feel cheap. The heater and A/C on this car come with a lot of different positions although they do not always reach the back seat and sometimes the back passengers do feel hot.

Story

We brought our baby home from the hospital, and that is the slowest we ever drove it.

Cons

There was some recalls, and I had to drop the car at the dealership. They do not offer a rental vehicle for you to use. The inside mirror visors are cheap and did break.

2012 Hyundai Elantra - Second Elantra, love it that much

This is my second Elantra. I recently purchased this vehicle after my 2010 Elantra was totaled in an accident. I had no complaints about my car and wanted to simplify the buying purchase, so I decided to stick with what I know. The performance is excellent. The car has great acceleration when getting on and off highways, and I never have problems with the car hesitating if I need to accelerate quickly to switch lanes. The car is spacious and roomy and has plenty of cargo space for everyday running around.

Story

When I was shopping for my car, this was the only one in the DFW area that was the color I wanted - the sky blue.

Pros

Fuel economy is excellent
Car is spacious inside, adults can sit comfortably in the backseat
Controls are easy to access and intuitive to figure out without having to read the manual
Sound system is great, Bluetooth audio works good with excellent sound quality
Rear console with cup holders can be pulled down - excellent as a divider between children

Cons

Cabin noise. I was disappointed that the newer Elantra sacrificed the quiet cabin for exterior style. It would have been great to have the updated body, and still maintain the inside cabin quiet. When doing over 65 on a highway, it is very loud.
Seatbelt adjustment is still too high for me, at 5'4 stature, resulting in the seat belt constantly cutting into my neck while driving.
Not as many compartments as the 2010 - the dashboard compartment was eliminated, as was the center compartment by the cupholders.
